Emerald and the Love Song etc is produced by Pony World Theatre, in association with Annex Theatre. A factoid worth noting perhaps...

Saw it. Didn't care for it.

Funny "glitz" and "overwrought Broadway Cheese" is generally what I look for in a Broadway musical.

I went to Catch Me last night and with the exception of the New Orleans scene, which did feel forced and too long, and the ending which I felt dragged a bit, I enjoyed it. The show moved along at a quick pace (it didn't feel like 3 hours) and the songs were upbeat, sugary and left you leaving the theater with a little spring in your step. What more could you want from a musical?

Not every musical can or should be serious or even pretend to seriousness. Some are song and dance shows and in that department Catch Me delivered.

Even though this article wrote it off as "cute", I saw Emerald and the Dead Fisherman last night and thought it was great. Music and actors and puppets were a blast and also touching in parts too. Very well done I thought. I admit I'm not into the big flashy broadway stuff anyway, but the show at the Annex also didn't require a bank loan to buy the ticket.

I concur with danindowntown. For me, without "Fly, Fly Away," I would never attend a second or third performance -- even on Broadway -- because it gave heart to an otherwise overly clever sitcom. A subject like Frank Jr., an identity thief and conman, NEEDS heart and soul, in the form of the woman who fell in love with the real him. Otherwise, what's the point of this musical?
